House Bill 201, a bill that would prohibit local municipalities from implementing bans on the use of natural gas, has passed through the Ohio legislature and is on its way to Gov. Mike DeWine to be signed into law, according to Marcellus Drilling News.
The news comes as states in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays scramble to ensure local municipalities can’t control the use of natural gas.
Pennsylvania also has proposed legislation that would ban natural gas bans; however, the bill hasn’t made it past the state legislature.
